Hello, I've finally devoted some time to prototype some tags about the maintenance status of a package. Some discussion about this happened at http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debtags-devel/2007-September/001703.html What came out so far is this script, based on UDD: http://git.debian.org/?p=debtags/autodebtag.git;a=blob;f=maint_tags An example of what it generates can be found at: http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/maint.gz While I was writing this, I was thinking: would it make sense to call these tags qa::* instead of maint::*, and officially state that they are the tags maintained by Debian QA? I'm not trying to dump tasks on people: I'll be happy to take care of generating these tags on behalf (or as part) of the QA team. The idea of naming them qa::* is, for example, to discuss here about new tags, or new ways to generate them. And also, to connect a set of tags to a specific team and effort inside Debian. If there are no objections I'd go on with the rename, and with making this a bit more official. Of course, I'd be happy to discuss ideas for new tags and for ways to assign them to packages. The maint_tags script has a bit of brainstorming in the comments at the end of the file. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enrico@debian.org>
